NEMO Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 United clash on BBC Alba Delayed transmission of Saturday’s SPL encounter. Motherwell’s vital Clydesdale Bank SPL match against Craig Levein’s Dundee United will be covered by BBC Alba. After previously covering both wins over Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Hamilton Accies and Hearts, the Steelmen will be hoping to continue the good run when the Tannadice men come calling at the weekend. The Gaelic channel launched last Autumn and is available on Sky (channel 168) and Freesat, with a Freeview launch expected after a review in 2010. The full ninety minutes will be shown at 8.00pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trafficlight Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good stuff, and well done to them for showing coverage of Scottish football outwith Celtic and Rangers. Out of interest, though, how many people in Scotland can speak Gallic? Is there an audience out there for BBC Alba ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bones Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Every game they have covered the commentary has been in Gaelic. The pre match opinions are in English. Unfortunately for some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm baffled with they tellys that say Freesat on them! Have they got wee Ritz biscuit size dishes inside them. No dish required. Just a set-top box that you plug into your current telly, or a new telly with said wee box built-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
